Syncretism of Christian and pre-Christian rites and traditions: viburnum berries on a grave.
Viburnum (kalina – каліна in Belarusian) plays an important role in pre-Christian traditions: as a (bitter) medicament, as a symbol of a woman’s sadness in love and sorrowful fate, as an intermediary between the temporal world and the world of the dead, and thus as a tree to plant on graves.
